Decorative and frost films give you privacy, branding and visual separation on glass while letting effectively all of the daylight through. They are how you divide an open-plan office without building walls, how you make a conference room usable without blinds, and how you get an etched-glass appearance for a small fraction of what etched glass costs.

Your options

Plain frost in varying opacities, graduated bands, dot and line gradients, geometric and organic patterns, colored and textured films, and custom designs including logos and wayfinding, made to your drawing.

Privacy without darkness

This is the core of it. A frost film at seated eye level abstracts the people behind it into soft shapes while the daylight passes straight through. Conference rooms stay bright, corridors stay lit, and nobody has to sit behind a closed blind to have a private conversation.

Manifestation and safety marking

Full-height glazing in a commercial space needs to be visible to the people walking towards it. A frost band is the standard way to do that, and it is an opportunity to put your brand on the glass rather than a row of dots.

Cost against etched glass

Decorative film delivers a comparable appearance to acid-etched or sandblasted glass at a considerably lower cost, it can be changed when your branding changes, and it comes off cleanly when you leave the space. Etched glass is permanent and priced accordingly.

Questions

What people ask us about this.

Where on the glass is decorative film installed?

Normally the interior face, which protects it and makes replacement easy. Exterior application is available where the glazing detail requires it.

Is the installation process noisy?

No. Film goes on with slip solution and a squeegee. Custom patterns arrive pre-cut, so there is very little cutting on site.

What is the best film for a commercial bathroom window?

A fully opaque white or matte frost. It gives complete privacy day and night while keeping the room lit, and it stands up to the humidity.

Are decorative films suitable for doors?

Yes, and they are one of the most common applications. On a full-glass door a frost band also serves as the safety manifestation.

Are decorative films good for textured glass?

Generally not. Film needs a smooth surface to bond to. Heavily textured or patterned glass will not take it reliably and we will tell you so rather than install something that fails.

How do I clean decorative film?

A soft cloth and any non-abrasive cleaner, after the 30-day cure. Do not use abrasive pads on a matte frost surface.
